"Last night was wonderful!!! We estimate there were about 1,000 people! Your message was perfect and was well received by everyone. We are getting calls this morning from many people who are running out to purchase your book. "

"Laura Blumenfeld's presentation was outstanding and she was charming and engaging. She was very gracious during our pre-event reception and spoke with many of our major donors and their family members. Laura's story was captivating and all of our guests were held in complete silence as she detailed the events in her life that led up to the writing of her book. Her courage, determination and passion were inspirational to all. The success of our fundraising efforts for the evening was excellent. A great boost to our annual campaign."

"The lecture was a big success. It was a great way to end the Monday series 'Dynamic Duos (Laura and Rabbi David Blumenfeld).' The majority of the audience responding in the evaluations was truly touched by Laura and her story. They appreciated her bravery and insights into the concept of revenge tremendously. She was articulate and moving in her presentation. They were both unfailingly warm and attentive to the close to 100 people who purchased books. Poor Laura went through several liters of water as she sat and spoke with the individuals coming up to have their books signed. I would have to say it was a great morning, and we are delighted we could have them join us. Kandy Hutman, JCC of Greater Washington"

"Her warmth helped make each of the benefactors feel special and grateful that they had helped make her visit to our JCC possible. Her lecture at the JCC was both intriguing and profoundly moving. She is truly an excellent speaker. "

"You served as a huge draw for our first couples event of the year! The feedback from your presentation has been extremely positive. All those present were fascinated by your incredible true story of hope and transformation. Learning about your experiences as a Jewish woman interacting with numerous anti-Semites, especially the family of your father's shooter, was extremely powerful. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."

"Thank you for your cooperation in bringing Laura Blumenfeld to our Temple. Her expertise and insight regarding 'Jews, Power and the Presidency 2004' was quite remarkable and everyone enjoyed her presentation."

"We want to thank you so much for your outstanding presentation in St. Louis at the Civitas 'Revenge & Reconciliation' conference for high school students. Your speech was riveting and the students were truly engrossed, particularly since most of them had read the book (a somewhat novel occurrence these days). The student reviews on the conference and in particular your presentation were most positive. "

"I wanted to express our deepest gratitude for your presence with us and for your powerful words and witness. The church has been buzzing with excitement and joy at having you with us. You truly provided much food for thought and I thank you. Many seeds were planted that night between the congregations. Thanks for being part of that process, for sharing your tale of courage and hope. "
